Loading Envelopes And Heavy Paper - Epson PRO Reference Manual

Once your driver settings are correct, choose Print in the File
menu of your application program to print on the sheets you
loaded.

Loading Envelopes and Heavy Paper

This section explains how to load envelopes and heavy paper.
For detailed specifications on paper thickness and weight, see
Appendix B. When printing, follow these guidelines:
Do not use envelopes that are curled, folded, or bent.
Do not use envelopes that are too thin; they may curl
during printing.
Do not choose 720 dpi resolution for envelope printing.
If you are using a DOS application, you may be able to
select 720 dpi if your DOS program supports 720 dpi
printing. You can select from Bi-D, Uni-D, or Auto print
directions using the Default setting mode. The Uni-D
setting is recommended when printing at 720 dpi.
When loading heavy paper (paper that is thick or stiff), it is
recommended that you load one sheet at a time.
Adjusting the paper thickness lever
When printing on envelopes, labels, or heavy paper, you need
to adjust the paper thickness lever to compensate for the extra
paper weight.
1. Make sure the printer is turned on. Then press the Pause
button and open the cover.
2. While holding down the Alt button, press the Font button,
and then release both buttons. The carriage moves to the
lever-adjusting position and the Data light flashes. Paper
loaded in the printer is ejected when you adjust this lever.
